Technical Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a 5G or a pre-5G communication system for supporting a higher data rate since 4G communication systems such as LTE. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a method for determining transmission power of a terminal, including: receiving a terminal-specific transmission power parameter from a base station, determining transmission power of the terminal based on the terminal-specific transmission power parameter and a subcarrier spacing allocated to the terminal, and transmitting an uplink signal based on the determined transmission power, and an apparatus performing the same may be provided.

Patent Claims
15 claims

Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A method performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: receiving, from a base station, sounding reference signal (SRS) configuration information including a number of symbols and slot information related to a slot on which an SRS is transmitted; identifying resources for SRS transmission based on the number of symbols and the slot information; determining an SRS transmission power; and transmitting the SRS on the identified resources after transmission of uplink data and a demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) based on the SRS transmission power, wherein the SRS is transmitted on consecutive symbols within the slot determined based on the number of symbols.

2

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SRS configuration information is received via radio resource control (RRC) signaling.

3

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the number of symbols is indicated by a fixed value.

4

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the resources include 1, 2, or more symbols.

5

5. A method performed by a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: generating sounding reference signal (SRS) configuration information including a number of symbols and slot information related to a slot on which an SRS is transmitted; transmitting, to a terminal, the SRS configuration information; and receiving, from the terminal, the SRS on resources identified based on the number of symbols and the slot information after reception of uplink data and a demodulation reference signal (DM-RS), wherein the SRS is received on consecutive symbols within the slot determined based on the number of symbols.

6

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the SRS configuration information is transmitted via radio resource control (RRC) signaling.

7

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the number of symbols is indicated by a fixed value.

8

8. The method of claim 5 , wherein the resources include 1, 2, or more symbols.

9

9. A terminal in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising: a transceiver; and a controller configured to: receive, via the transceiver from a base station, sounding reference signal (SRS) configuration information including a number of symbols and slot information related to a slot on which an SRS is transmitted, identify resources for SRS transmission based on the number of symbols and the slot information, determine an SRS transmission power, and transmit, via the transceiver to the base station, the SRS on the identified resources after transmission of uplink data and a demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) based on the SRS transmission power, wherein the SRS is transmitted on consecutive symbols within the slot determined based on the number of symbols.

10

10. The terminal of claim 9 , wherein the SRS configuration information is received via radio resource control (RRC) signaling.

11

11. The terminal of claim 9 , wherein the number of symbols is indicated by a fixed value.

12

12. The terminal of claim 9 , wherein the resources include 1, 2, or more symbols.

13

13. A base station in a wireless communication system, the base station comprising: a transceiver; and a controller configured to: generate sounding reference signal (SRS) configuration information including a number of symbols and slot information related to a slot on which an SRS is transmitted, transmit, to a terminal, the SRS configuration information, and receive, from the terminal, the SRS on resources identified based on the number of symbols and the slot information after reception of uplink data and a demodulation reference signal (DM-RS), wherein the SRS is received on consecutive symbols within the slot determined based on the number of symbols.

14

14. The base station of claim 13 , wherein the SRS configuration information is transmitted via radio resource control (RRC) signaling.

15

15. The base station of claim 13 , wherein the number of symbols is indicated by a fixed value, and wherein the resources include 1, 2, or more symbols.
